Abstract: A display includes pixels and a controller. The controller can cause the pixels to generate colors corresponding to an image frame. The controller can cause the display to display the image frame using sets of subframe images corresponding to contributing colors according to a field sequential color (FSC) image formation process. The contributing colors include component colors and at least one composite color, which is substantially a combination of at least two component colors. A greater number of subframe images corresponding to a first component color can be displayed relative to a number of subframe images corresponding to another component color. The display can be configured to output a given luminance of a contributing color for a first pixel by generating a first set of pixel states and output the same luminance of the contributing color for a second pixel by generating a second, different set of pixel states.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for protecting a display device from moisture ingress. A display device can be formed from two opposing substrates. Moisture-impervious walls can be formed around the perimeters viewing areas included on the substrates. The substrates can be brought together such that the perimeter walls align. The substrates can be bonded together by an anodic or eutectic bond. At least one layer of material forming the perimeter walls may be doped, for example with sodium ions, to facilitate the formation of an anodic bond. Alternatively, a layer of metal may be deposited onto the perimeter walls to facilitate the formation of a eutectic bond.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a shutter-based light modulator. The shutter includes at least three depressions extending outward from the surface of the shutter. Any two adjacent depressions of the at least three depressions define a gap therebetween to reduce damping forces caused by fluids in which the shutter is immersed. In some implementations, the at least three depressions can be aligned into more than one row, each row including more than two of the at least three depressions, along the surface of the shutter. In some implementations, to improve structural stability of the shutter, depressions in one row are staggered with respect to depressions in another row.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for displaying images on a display. An image-forming region is formed by a plurality of display elements each having a movable shutter component. Images are generated by controlling the shutter component of each of the plurality of display elements to move into open or closed positions depending on a desired light output intensity. Optically inactive display elements are positioned outside of the image-forming region. The position of the movable shutter component of each optically inactive display element is selected based on the next state of the movable component of at least one display element. The optically inactive display elements can increase the speed of the shutter components of display elements by displacing a fluid that surrounds the display elements and the optically inactive display elements.
